A tribute to the DC-8
because it’s a special one,
difficult to fly with
but a pleasure for everyone.
A tribute to the DC-8
for it is a wonderful plane
it is beloved by many pilots
the why I will try to explain.
“For once you’ve tasted flight
you’ll forever walk with your eyes upturn
for there you have been
and there you’ll long to return.”
This plane will be forever in our souls
this plane keeps us alive
soon they will disappear
but amongst us, they will always survive!
